It can be, that this is the fix for the DDoS-attacks.

SE can't fix the DDoS attacks directly because they aren't targeting their data center, which is in Sacramento CA. The DDoS has consistently targeted the large business ISP NTT, usually the San Jose node, but also previously a node in Arizona.

What SE *can* do, and what I'm hoping they're doing in this case, is adding in a second backup ISP that they can switch over to when NTT is getting ass blasted. It's pretty much the only mitigation strategy that will work.

It depends. If they upgrade their 1 MBit network hubs to 10 GBit switches then they will be able to mitigate it.
